Query:
Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about
VCs & Angels: 5 Things I Need To See Before Making An
Investment. Full description here https://bit.ly/2W3OY0f
We would like to interview successful VC and Angel investors to
hear stories from their experience about what they look out for
when they invest in and give guidance to an emerging company.
The purpose of the series is to give guidance to founders about
the steps they need to take to eventually qualify to seek
investors.
The interview series will have two stages.
All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will

Query:
After a long disease-filled year, the arrival of a vaccine means
we might be heading towards the light at the end of the tunnel.
However, it's unclear exactly how quickly vaccine distribution
will occur and how long it'll be before things really go back to
normal.
That's why it's smart to make financial plans for a scenario
where COVID has mostly passed on and one where it is still
lingering. What is some different financial that could apply if
COVID is still pervasive in your area next year, if you're
mostly past it, or that might apply for both?
Requirements:

Apple has announced that, as soon as 2024, the company will
begin production of an Apple-branded car. The car, which will
supposedly have self-driving functionality, is eyeing LiDAR as a
key technology to support its functionality. The news has shot
stocks up for several LiDAR companies.
I'm looking for thought leadership for a video podcast interview
on...
a) how viable a self-driving solution is for Apple after hype
for the technology has died down, from Tesla's vehicles capping
out at only Level 2 autonomy, and Uber selling its ATG b) how

possibility of an Apple vehicle c) how autonomous vehicle
manufacturers should prepare for the possibility of an Apple
vehicle d) how LiDAR technology is poised to support AV
solutions moving forward

Query:
I'm writing a story about the proliferation of employment scams
that are targeting people who are working from home due to the
pandemic. I've become aware of scammers who are trolling
LinkedIn, looking for people who are trying to find remote work
and getting them to send huge sums of money (not to mention
personal information) by pretending to be representatives of
various companies. It's a very elaborate scam and cleverly
designed to take advantage of the current situation in the labor
market.
I'm looking for one of the following:
1) a legal expert who can speak about what options are available
to victims of these types of scams
2) anyone who knows about a rise in employment scams in the wake
of COVID-induced rampant unemployment
3) Anyone who knows either an individual or a company who has
been victimized by these types of phishing scammers
